Regulatory & Environmental

Expertly navigate the regulatory landscape with nearly four decades of Western Canadian energy industry experience.

Clear regulatory support grounded in practical project experience.

Our regulatory and environmental teams support projects by navigating approval requirements, coordinating with regulators, and preparing clear, accurate submissions that align with defined project scope and execution plans.

GLE’s teams bring practical experience with industrial and energy infrastructure projects, allowing regulatory and environmental requirements to be addressed efficiently and in a manner consistent with engineering design and real-world facility operation.

AERMOD

For applications where a steady-state, straight-line, Gaussian plume model is appropriate (i.e. short to mid-range pollutant transport)

CALPUFF

For applications where a dynamic Lagrangian puff model is appropriate (i.e. long range pollutant transport and complex flow conditions)

SCREEN3

For screening-level assessments of flare stack and incinerator compliance with air quality objectives

DNV PHAST / SLAB

For Emergency Response and Planning Zone calculations and consequence modelling of hazardous releases

AERMOD H2S Release Modeling

Concentration Isopleths as an overlay in Google Earth

Modelling is used to assess emissions such as NOₓ, SOₓ, H₂S, CO₂, and other regulated air contaminants. Results are prepared to support regulatory submissions, inform design decisions, and demonstrate compliance with applicable air quality criteria.

Fit-for-Purpose Regulatory Support

Regulatory and environmental work is scaled to suit project size, complexity, and jurisdictional requirements. GLE applies the appropriate level of effort to meet regulatory expectations while supporting efficient project progression.
